As the title indicates, the title celebrates the animated misadventures of Rocket J. Squirrel, Bullwinkle the moose, the Pottsylvania spies Boris and Natasha, and characters from the show's supporting segments. Help Mr. Peabody and Sherman fire up the WABAC Machine and travel through time, save Nell from the spinning sawblade, defuse the Bomb with the Bomb Extinguisher, and complete the Pie to start Tri-Ball multiball. Hit the Hat targets to enable the Hat Trick, then watch the backglass as Bullwinkle tries to pull a rabbit (and a mystery reward) out of his hat.

Appropriately enough, Rocky and Bullwinkle is a game suitable for all types of players, one that is fun for casuals while offering a fair amount of depth for pros. The colorful art, zany sound package, funny animations, and good variety of shots makes this a nostalgic pleasure for fans of the show.

Chained to a Railway/Railroad Tracks of Doom: One of the animated sequences has Snidley Whiplash tying Nell to a pair of train tracks, only to get hit himself when the train ends up going on another set of tracks that he happens to be on.

Developers' Foresight: If a ball drains down the outlanes but the player manages a "death save" (nudge the table so the ball bounces back up to the flippers), Mr. Peabody will comment, "Good work, Sherman!"

Pull a Rabbit out of My Hat: The Hat Trick, available after hitting all three Hat targets. Bullwinkle will pull out either a rhino, a lion, or Rocky, and the player gets a reward according to what he pulls out.

Shown Their Work: Tim Seckel is a fan of the show, and he was ecstatic when he found out Data East had acquired the rights to make a pinball machine themed on Rocky & Bullwinkle. The love shows everywhere in the game.

The game is filled with numerous cameos and references to various story arcs and shorts, including:

The Moon Men from "Jet Fuel Formula", and the robotic Moon Mice from "Metal-Munching Mice".

The football game between Wossamotta U. and the Mud City Manglers.

The storybook and fairy from "Fractured Fairy Tales", along with Prince Darling from "Sleeping Beauty".

Boris and Natasha wear their British police disguises from "Rue Britannia".

The lost state of Moosylvania.

The "Mr. Know-It-All" segment, "How To Be A Temperamental Movie Star"

Skill Shot: Use the flippers to choose one of three rewards, then launch the ball into the corresponding flashing lane.
